You mean something even less germane for people to waste their time reading though because it amounts to being sent a snipe hunt?

He might just roll around on the floor bellowing and frothing harmlessly like a dying cow but he will throw some sort of tantrum.
I feel sorry for the people around him right now.It would be like taking care of the world’s largest angry toddler wearing a soiled diaper.

:lol: Nah.
But it's practically impossible armed with nothing more than an Internet connection to ferret out the truth of what Trump is/could/might do about the election so we might as well indulge in some joking around. After all, this thread isn't (yet? :wink: ) in PPR so it's better to keep things light.
Also, please check your PMs.

Well Biden gave his acceptance speech and there hasn't been any new developments, so I guess he is President for sure now then?

Technically, not officially - but everything else appears to indicate that he is the President Elect.
The official announcement will doubtless come in time, Trump's legal threats notwithstanding.

How long till we officially know though? The President is suppose to be sworn in Jan 20th, so will we have to wait till then till we know for sure?

That depends on how long it takes for all of the ballot counts to be returned - I think some are still in the high 90's% of completing that.
But one way or another, it will be finalised long before January.

Well how long is it going to take them to count the votes, I shouldn't they have been already, or does it normally take this long? I'm not American so I usually do not pay this much attention, but does it normally take this long?

The reason it's taking so long this year is:

1) There are many more absentee/mail-in votes this year than normal, due to CoViD.
2) Some states have laws forbidding the counting of absentee/mail-in votes until Election Day.

Oh okay, but what I don't understand with those points is wouldn't less people voting mean there is less votes to count, and therefore shouldn't take as long, if there is less?

There are more votes to count, not less. Turnout is higher than normal, because Trump is such a polarizing figure.

Also, mail-in ballots take longer to count than normal ballots.
